PROJECT DESCRIPTION
The main objective of Le Diamant was to create a permanent but flexible space to showcase world-class creations, including those of Ex Machina and Robert Lepage, for regional, national and international clients. The project included a variable-geometry main performance hall, a creation and rehearsal studio, a foyer, stage support spaces and administrative offices. A unique cultural venue, Le Diamant is open to its community and set in the heart of historic downtown Quebec City. This place of influence is an anchor for the public, emerging artists and creators from all walks of life.
The project was subsidized by the Government of Quebec, the City of Quebec, the Government of Canada and the private sector. Because it was considered a major public infrastructure project, the development process required approval from Ministère de la Culture et des Communications (MCC) at different stages of the mandate and accountability reports.
